    So, the remote....to put it simply to begin with, I don't think I've had a more fun time being bored.

    As it turns out, the remote I was assigned to was not, in fact, about the election. But they needed extra ponies on board for other remotes because of the election sucking talent away. *I* was assigned to the remote that was at the Air Canada Center, covering the season opener for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now, the thing to keep in mind is if you set up a microwave transmitter wrong? You can blow out yours, and everyone elses signal. Heck, you could do serious damage to the microwave RECIEVER in the CN Tower. That's how potent this thing is.

    Thankfully, because the damn thing is so potent, they were wise enough to make it relatively easy to handle. We were able to figure it out, especially since lesson one is 'Don't turn it on until told.' So we had it set up...and we had to wait for three hours. Thankfully the guy I was with-who I swear could have fit into a noir film-was a really cool guy, laid back, we cracked a lot of jokes, and he bought us pizza. Awesome guy. So, we have it set up, and eventually the talent, cameraman, and producer came in...and proceed to tell us we need to move the transmitter. We needed to be closer to the party thatwas happening in front of the ACC. Oops!

    So, we move over. And it's just a party over there, because they had set things up so that ponies could watch the Leafs on the giant screen, there were bleachers and stands selling beer and everything. We do the hit at 6:30, and then...we wait. We think there's going to be another hit between then and 11:30, but goodness knows. But we got to watch the game on the giant screen! Funny thing is, at one point, they told us we weren't going to be needed until 11:30...then no more than five minutes later, they called us desperate for us to do a hit. We can move fast when need be.

    The game ends eventually (Leafs won 2-0), and suddenly, we realize we're *surrounded* by drunken fans all thinking we're going to put them on television. That's when I realized part of my job was to play bodyguard, not just for the talent, but also the very fragile and expensive equipment. It got a little hair-raising when a fight nearly broke out, but damn, the cops moved fast to break it up. So, we basically faked interviewing these drunken fans, just to get them off our back. It worked, but man, we were *swarmed*.

    Soon enough...the place turned into a ghost town, save us, the cops assigned to watch things...and the people starting to move the equipment now that the party is over. Who yelled at us to move (again), to get out of the way of the giant trucks that were coming to take things away. All the while, we're watching the election on a tiny TV as something to do, waiting to see if we'll be needed for 11:30, but the election was so close that we're starting to think we might not be...but we can't just leave. Not until we're told.

    Here we are, the five of us, and we're just having a great time with each other. We're joking and laughing, and there's cops and workers who keep coming over to watch the election, and we're making non-serious bets on whether it's going to be a minority or majority electorate (I won, Minority!), when around 11 AM, one of the workers comes to us and goes "You have to move again." We get a little annoyed, until we realize...there are cars starting to stream around us. They had opened up the street they closed off for the party. Oh hell. Grab our stuff as quickly as we can, get onto the sidewalk! With expensive, expensive equipment on hand!

    Once we're set up, we start waiting again. 11:30 rolls around, and at this point, we're making bets that we won't be called upon. The minority/majority is down to the wire, there's electrical problems where the elected Premier is supposed to give a speech, and sure enough, 12 AM and past rolls around...and we're not on. THEN, we get a phone call-keep in mind we've kept in touch with them constantly at this point to see if we can go or not- asking...why hadn't we left yet?

    So we pack up, we dont' get back to the station till 1 AM, and I didn't get home till 3 AM. We had exactly two hits, and about three minutes of airtime. But with all the wild and wooly stuff that happened, and the company that I kept, and the spirits that we were in, as I said, I don't think I've had a more fun time being bored.
    I'm glad you had a good day at work Esper. And that you seem to be a bit less exhausted by it than usual.

    I ran a time travel Exalted game. It was basically She Who Lives In Her Name's master plan to escape Hell. Step 1: Find and destroy the concept of linear time. Step 2: Stop anyone from rebuilding the concept of linear time before time drifts back before the start of the Primordial War.

    It was excellent fun.

    It'd only turn Creation into the Wyld if she didn't get out to fix it in time, and since I can't imagine this plan possibly going wrong that's clearly not gonna happen.

    And given SWLIHN's history of breaking metaphysical concepts out of spite, I reckon it's not something entirely beyond her. Plus if you break the concept of linear time then you can go back before linear time was broken and #concept missing#

    You can actually bypass the zoom step by hitting "open in a new tab" instead of clicking on the grid image.

    This? This is a good example of why time travel gives me headaches.
    Hm. Maybe, and I appreciate the thought, like woah! But let me try Grif's suggestion first. Maybe I can slap it together myself, before you go through all that trouble.

    And timetravel cannot lead to headaches. Seriously. If it's giving you a headache, you're tying to hard and you'd get a headache regardless of what you tried to focus on.

    Frame of reference; if you travel back in time, energetic makes sense to you. There are infinite universes; consider "time travel" more jumping existence to existence, where stuff in the past happens to be different.

    Be a singularity; you cannot "run into yourself" because there is only one yourself and you are him. So you can't go back and shake your own hand, but you can one day find a note in your beaureau with instructions, that you mentally note to go back in time later and give yourself.

    Just be aware that once you hit time-hopping, you have to deal win equivalent hassles. It solves your weak, mortal problems by making youtoo busy with dynamic, immortal problems to care.

    In thanqol's case, as far as SWLINHN (which I pronounce "Sue-Lynn" because welsh) is concerned, she's free. As far as the rest of Creation is concerned, she may not even be in this existence anymore and didn't actually screw anything up.

    Beeskee: The pony nods as he thinks about it, realizing it may have inadvertently sounded like he was volunteering Topaz to haul a heavy cart. "Y-yeah, that's a good idea." He manages to loosen the straps on his pack, and slips it off himself, urgently grabbing hold of a strap with his mouth before it floats away. A few moments later and he has it tied to a nearby tree, the balloons bobbing merrily in the breeze.

    Anyway, because of all the talk of RPs earlier, I figure that I should mention a small update on the Pinkie Pie bard that I mentioned that earlier that I'd be playing in a Ravenloft Campaign. (I believe the campaign was supposed to be Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, but in the space of just three sessions, we have managed to derail enough of what was expected of us to get the DM to practically throw out the campaign. (I actually made the mistake of thinking that it is just a joke that an adventuring party's solution to a couple of hostile creatures in a forest or town is to burn down everything.))

    Anyway, given the fact that a Pinkie Pie character fits in Ravenloft about as well as the square peg fits in the round hole, I was actually pleasantly surprised that the party didn't just leave her for dead along the side of a road or in the middle of the forest. (A part of this might be because of the fact that having Inspire courage at +4 at level 5 along with Dragonfire Inspiration (Silverbrow human) is nothing to scoff at.) However, what the other players didn't know, and what the DM only suspected (but didn't think that I'd actually pull off) is that I had planned for my character to have a
    "Cupcakes" Pinkie split-personality. (Since I haven't actually read Cupcakes, I based her primarily on the ask Pinkamena Diane Pie Tumblr)

    In the space of about half a session, I managed to get her a reputation as an axe-crazy (though she lacks an actual axe) psychopath, and it's to the point that not only does the rest of the party both look forward to and dread the Pinkamena personality appearing, but her mere presence seems to make everyone else in the party more evil as well.

    And here's the kicker: By the end of the third session, not only do I have the absolute lowest body count of anyone in the party (1), but Pinkamena has yet to actually instigate any violence! All in all, I think it's going pretty well.
    Sounds amazing! Please keep us posted, I'd love to see how this turns out!

    Though truthfully I stopped reading midway through. I think it was the 5th game re-enactment or so. Still, I have good memories of it.

    The clockwork pony nodded.

    Someone asked me if you coded a lineart fractal program, actually.
    Heh

    It lacks most of the characteristics of a true fractal. But it does look a bit like one. It was coded in Python using Pygraph and Graphviz. Not really all that complicated, although it took a while to compute. The 99 images were inserted manually, though.

    Charger was rapidly revising and re-revising her estimates downwards. But, blessedly, there was a chance to get a real question in edgeways. "I... yes. Forgive me for not offering a hat of my own, though my father makes them, I could provide one such once I am home -" She was aware just how tangential this was getting, but could hardly seem to stop herself. "- But," she said, pulling herself back on topic, "I confess I have never seen a metal pony before and do not know the appropriate etiquette."

    Charger wasn't much better at communication than Igneous, when her roundabout way of speech got to her..

    EsperDerek. I have a question for you. Would you mind if I recreated the Out in the Cold continuity in a D&D campaign? As much as I love TrixieShy, I like the story that much more.

    You know what? Either way, this Fluttershy is being introduced in the campaign world. Too much work has been put into her character mechanics by you crazy ponies for me to not. :P
    Please go ahead! Recreate away! If you do follow that path, though, please do keep me updated on how it all turns out, my curiosity demands it!

    Was all work. Add another fourish hours on for commute, and you get about 16 hours, which sounds about right.

Because you don't approve of my life decisions? Get over yourself.

    There's no reason to judge or disapprove of anything that anypony else does. Absolutely. None.
    AOTRS and I are a little older than most of you ponies, we're now at the age (or, at least, maturity) where we've sort of realized that what anypony thinks of you really doesn't matter, and in turn, it kind of pisses us off where we see this sort of thing. Live and let live. If you're not hurting anypony, it's all good. Good for you, man.

    It really was an experience to remember. What really made it, though, was the company I kept. It could have been so boring and frustrating, but the ponies I was with, and the fun we had because of our situation, just made everything work.

    Oh, I was exhausted, but I was also exhilarated, so it all worked out to balance things out.

    Is this thing on? Good. If you can hear me, I'm currently trapped in the chartered accountancy department. There may or may not be vengeful gods aboard, so please take caution! I've managed to create a control panel out of clip-boards and paper-clips, so I can open up the doors, and give you a safe route inside!

    And for the love of Celestia, Don't touch anything! I'm not entirely sure what rules of physics this bunker is running on, but it does not like the pony skeleton. Good luck!

    To be honest, they were just the first ones to come up when I searched for "Ship-proof people willing to work in top-secret underground bunker being raided by vengeful god." To be honest, they were the only result. But they've managed to work through around 30% of the filing already!

    But really, thanks for clarifying this. It's just something I've been wondering ever since Reaching Midnight and the stories left it ambiguous. I can see why you didn't want shake the threesome stick at your readers more than you had to though as it would make some people uncomfortable.

    I like the Midnight picture there too. It's always good to see Midnight getting some high quality fanart.

    Don't worry about that. I just did what made sense and focused on boosting Inspire Courage. I also refuse to completely lose the Pinkie personality until I get an excuse to sing "Giggle at the Ghosties!"

    Although, I am thinking of using my sixth level feat to get Acquire Familiar for a toothless alligator Familiar.

    Damn, you need to click on the zoom button on the top right corner to get the transparent .png images now.

    But yes, those pixellated mess are ugly and I will pull The Lever on anyone who do that.

    ...







    On a more serious note, I actually had to go back earlier in the thread to find the pixellated version because nearly all of the ponymotes come up as the small version automatically for me.
